I see young ones riding the Arroyo behind JPL on drop bar gravel bikes. Some with nice front racks...
I saw one "older guy" in South Pasadena on a gravel bike, but I could tell he wasn't from CA.
You got a lot of nerve riding roads that previously were ridden on with MTBs. I tried riding drop bar in the dirt many years ago, but would always prefer my JC Higgins single speed in the dirt with wide bars. Then came the MTBs in the 80s. For me....XC MTB on these roads
